The article is devoted to the development of technology and equipment for the production of feed with nanoparticles. One of the most important conditions for successful development of animal husbandry is the creation of a rational feed base, since this item of expenditure accounts for the largest share of financial investments in the maintenance of farm animals. The physiological needs of the animal are reduced to ensuring that the food is nutritious, easily digested, readily eaten, and contains all the necessary trace elements and vitamins necessary for normal growth and development of the body. One of the most effective ways to use feedstock is primarily related to rational methods of processing it. Modern technologies of feed preparation allow preserving their nutritional value, increasing the digestibility of animals, as well as enriching them with various biologically active additives during processing. The inclusion of nanoparticles in livestock feed improves the quality of the product and improves production. The article presents the results of the study of the influence of anchor and propeller type working bodies, as well as fixed combs, on the specific energy consumption and the degree of homogeneity during the process of mixing feed raw materials with nanoparticles. The content of nanoparticles in the selected samples was determined by the method of atomic adsorption spectrometry. The need for the presence of anchor and propeller type working elements in the mixing plant, as well as a fixed comb, was proved. Since the anchor working body is slow-moving, and the propeller is fast-moving, it is shown that they need to be installed on different shafts. The proposed design of the mixer with an optimal arrangement of working bodies allows increasing the efficiency of mixing highly dispersed components and nanomaterial, and improving the quality of the finished mixture.
